The much-anticipated documentary “EPiC” by Baz Luhrmann, focusing on Elvis Presley, has finally announced its release date. The film will kick off with a one-week IMAX run starting February 20, 2026, followed by a worldwide theatrical release a week later, as revealed in a press release from Graceland.
“EPiC” delves into Presley’s iconic Vegas residency in the 1970s, incorporating rare footage from “Elvis on Tour” and the Graceland archive, along with rediscovered recordings of Elvis sharing his personal story. The immersive experience promises fans a closer look at the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll like never before.
Originally premiering at the Toronto Film Festival, the project offers a deeper exploration of Presley’s performance career, giving audiences a unique perspective on his life on stage.
Director Baz Luhrmann took to Instagram to announce the film’s release, urging fans to support the project by contacting their local theaters. The film’s concept was sparked during the making of the feature film “Elvis,” starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks, prompting Luhrmann to dig deeper into Presley’s world.
Unearthing lost footage from the 1970s concert films, Luhrmann and his team discovered a wealth of material that had never been seen before. This rare footage, combined with unseen recordings of Elvis discussing his life and music, adds a new dimension to the legendary musician’s story.
“EPiC” comes after the success of “Elvis,” which grossed nearly $290 million worldwide and received eight Academy Award nominations. The project represents a continuation of Luhrmann’s exploration of Presley’s legacy, offering a fresh perspective on the iconic artist.
In a world where nostalgia and innovation intersect, “EPiC” promises to captivate audiences with its immersive storytelling and unique approach to showcasing the life and career of Elvis Presley.
